They'd listen to her for 5 minutes and determine that if America is stupid enough to elect an idiot like her then we are probably weak enough to be invaded ourselves.

THAT is why she is relevant.

And I say anyone promoting her, supporting her and voting for her does not have the good of the country in mind.

Faked her pregnancy? Oh, you're one of those.

Okay, then:

Obama was born in Kenya. Did you know that?

Kind of like the "Africa is a country" hoax.

Problem is the "Africa is a country" hoax and this edited video are no different in scope than her real actions, such as not being able to name a newspaper she reads or claiming that seeing Russia from parts of Alaska gives her a leg up on foreign affairs. There's no difference whatsoever between truth and satire. This is most likely a vexing problem for comedians because satire is supposed to be more ridiculous than truth.

Very different, actually.

such as not being able to name a newspaper she reads

I do not read newspapers or magazines, and yet am probably one of the more informed people in the country.

or claiming that seeing Russia from parts of Alaska gives her a leg up on foreign affairs. There's no difference whatsoever between truth and satire. This is most likely a vexing problem for comedians because satire is supposed to be more ridiculous than truth.

Are you seriously trying to claim that any of this is on the same scope as thinking that Africa is a country? Because you must be trying really hard to make yourself believe that if you actually do.
